Co-ed Clothesline
By Maryfran Lorain and Kay Kuckcnberg
Warm sunshine for just a few short days encourages even the most,
pessimistic suntan seekers to take last year’s play clothes from the
back of the closet, and to begin planning this season's sun wardrobe.
Unusual hues and sturdy fabrics combine with functional designs
to make new play clothes both striking and practical. Amber and
steel gray are being used extensively to accent summer pastel shades
Contrasting plain colors with stripes and plaids adds interest to strictly
tailored shirts and shorts.
Thick toweling has come into its own for not only beach robes, but
also luxurious stoles and brief sun suits. Remember the previously
limited uses of^enim and butcher lineh? The two are now interchange
able—linen shorts and pedal pushers, denim skirts with matching
Chinese tops.
The cool freshness of sleeveless blouses places them high on the
list of new styles. Extreme necklines—very high, wide, or plunging add
variety to their' basically simple design. Taffeta, cotton, pique, and
chambray have transformed the winter bolero dress into an appro
priate beach or country costume.
Smart vests over gaily checkered skirts top any and all play out
fits from skirts top any and all play outfits from skirts to shorts. Sun
dresses with matching or contrasting stoles, which may be worn as
scarves or sashes—depending upon he way the wind blows_are a
must in the well-rounded play-time wardrobe.
Bathing suits are brief again this year, but not so scanty as in
the past. Straps are detachable, thus providing many possibilities for
additional variety. The new suits are keynoted by becomingly simple
lines which do not detract from glittering metallic materials in silver,
gold, and copper tones.
Many of the basic styles that were smart last year have been re
tained this year, so think twice before giving away your older play
clothes—they may have a bright future for this summer!

Outstanding Junior
To Receive
Schwering Award
“I feel somehow that Mrs.
Schwering knows and is with us
in spirit when the Hazel Schwer
ing award is presented on Junior
weekend," said Mrs. Perry L.
Dolph, permanent chairman of the
memorial.
A good friend of the late dean
of women, Mrs. Dolph told how
Mrs. Schwering’s last words ex
pressed the wish that a scholar
ship award could be given to a
junior girl. The plan, however, had
been only a dream for so long that
she had nearly lost hope that it
would ever materialize.
At present funds are secured by
contributions from business men
and money collected from the
women’s houses exchange dinners
which are held once a term. It is
hoped that some day a sufficient
sum of money will be left to the
Hazel Schwering memorial so that
the award would not depend en
tirely on these two sources.
Mrs. Dolph, who will present the
award, Is herself very interested in
University activities. Her daugh
ter, Joanne, was a member of Chi
Omega sorority and graduated in
1945. She is now working for the
J. • Walter Thompson advertising
company in New York, and han
dles all ads for Ponds cosmetics.
‘‘This award, as Mrs. Schwer
ing’s dearest wish, is a fitting
tribute to this pretty, charming
and vivacious woman,” Mrs. Dolph
concluded.
